[PATCH] iio: light: veml6030: fix microlux value calculation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The raw value conversion to obtain a measurement in lux as
INT_PLUS_MICRO does not calculate the decimal part properly to display
it as micro (in this case microlux). It only calculates the module to
obtain the decimal part from a resolution that is 10000 times the
provided in the datasheet (0.5376 lux/cnt for the veml6030). The
resulting value must still be multiplied by 100 to make it micro.

This bug was introduced with the original implementation of the driver.

I found this almost by chance while testing new supported devices. The
decimal part was always suspiciously small, and when I compared samples
to the expected value according to the datasheet, it became clear what was
going on.

Example with a veml7700 (same resolution as the veml6030):

Resolution for gain = 1/8, IT = 100 ms: 0.5736 lux/cnt.

cat in_illuminance_raw in_illuminance_input
40
21.005040 -> wrong! 40 * 0.5736 is 21.504.

Tested with a veml6035 and a veml7700, the same will happen with the
original veml6030, as the operation is identical for all devices.
